Article: Q182564
Product(s): Microsoft SNA Server
Version(s): WINDOWS:4.0
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): 
Last Modified: 02-APR-2000

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft SNA Server, version 4.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

In maintenance mode setup, the Setup program of SNA Server Windows 3.x client
always tries to install to the Sna.win directory. This occurs even if you
installed the Windows 3.x client to a directory other than Sna.win.

CAUSE
=====

The maintenance mode setup gets the installation directory from the Snasetup.ini
file.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem:

1. Copy the SNA Client for Windows 3.x program files from the Clients\win3x
  directory on the SNA Server CD to your hard disk drive.

2. Modify the "Destination Path= " parameter in Snasetup.ini to reflect the path
  where the Windows 3.x client is installed.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 4.0. This
problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 4.0 U.S. Service Pack.
